Um, which jailbait would that be, and how does trolling equate to pedophilia?

Because while the parents have legal responsibility, it is only fair that they have legal judgement. Unless you're okay with someone being held liable for actions they do not commit?
WordInterrupted said:First, the descision to get an abortion is not a "legal judgement." It's a personal medical descision that does not involve the law in any way. Second, parents are not held liable for their child's descision to get an abortion. Your argument makes no sense.
Since there is legal precedent for parental notification and consent to other medical procedures performed on their child, there is. You seem to want to have it both ways here, Wordin -- you want it to be considered legitimate (which it is), but the fact is that it is a medical procedure, and you seem to want to disregard that fact so that you can exempt it from the same parental considerations at work in all other legitimate medical procedures.
The fact is that until a child is no longer a legal dependent of her parents, the parents have a right to notification of any medical procedure performed on their child, because they are expected to be legally responsible for that child, and they cannot be reasonably held responsible for events of which they have no knowledge; that's just common sense, which is why I'm not at all surprised that you can't seem to grasp it.
WordInterrupted said:I've already demonstrated why abortion is substantively different from other medical descisions, and should thus be treated differently.
Under current law, are parents held legally responsible for their child's descision{sp} to get an abortion?
Regardless of any "substantive differences," is abortion a medical procedure, or not?
I'm not sure what your meaning is, but parents are legally responsible for the safety and well-being of their minor dependents, and any medical procedure, including abortion, carries the risk of physical harm to the patient. Therefore, by virtue of being responsible for the safety of their child, parents are responsible for the consequences of all medical procedures performed on the child -- and that includes abortion.
With the end result being a dumbing down of the general population. Other than genetics, what determines your IQ? Basically, how much religion do you have to drag around. Religious Conservatives really want a very dumb population. Silent as a dim bulb.WordInterrupted said:My dear, religious conservatives want to put prayer in school and teach creationism instead of evolution. I don't know why you're worrying about schools serving healthy food when there are people who want to teach the Bible in science class.
